I have begun a new FR campaign in the early 1370s using the 3e FRCS as the basis of the setting and referencing my 2e material as needed. Nothing new or exciting here.
However, for the first time I am looking to include Planescape and, perhaps, Spelljammer in my campaign as the PCs get up in levels.
I know very little about these settings, never having been interested in them when I was younger, but my tastes have changed and I am excited to dive into both.
This leaves me wondering, though, whether or not I would be better off sticking with the Great Wheel as it pertains to PS and SJ or whether I could use the 3e FR cosmology just as easily. I am looking for the path of least resistance that allows me to seamlessly use 2e PS and SJ material in this campaign.
I just don't have a well enough grasp on either cosmology or either of those settings to know where best to start with this project, so any anecdotes or suggestions would be very helpful.
I am thinking that sticking to the Great Wheel might be the easiest. It seems to me that the Great Wheel, especially post Planescape, assumes a campaign with Planar travel, the existence of Sigil, and the possibility of travel to other campaign worlds (Greyhawk etc), whereas the Tree assumes none of this will be standard in your campaign.
Or does the great tree make accommodations for getting to Sigil and other settings as well and I am just not reading it correctly?
Thank you.
